What it’s like
The place. Koppel is a small borough, and nearly everyone in it lives in a home they own. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and few residents live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical, and a good share of people work from home. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers turn warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow arrive steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in banks, insurance and property. The commute is a moderate one, and across Beaver County the largest workplaces include Heritage Valley Beaver, the general hospital, and the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs has stayed close to level.
Things to do. The Pittsburgh International Race Complex, a race track, sits in or beside town, and State Game Lands Number 148, a protected area, lies close by as well. A short drive away are the Beaver River and Cascade Park, an amusement park. McConnells Mill State Park, a protected area, is also a short drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Koppel’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Beaver County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
